Sobriety

Sobriety is the state of not having any measurable levels or effects from mood-altering drugs, including marijuana or other drugs. Sober most often refers to alcohol consumption. Another definition from the dictionary is the quality of being staid or solemn.

One's physical comforts and wants, therefore, should be ordered according to the demands of health and strength, not according to the calls of pleasure. And if we will only bear in mind the superiority and dignity of our nature, we shall realize how wrong it is to abandon ourselves to excess and to live in luxury and voluptuousness, and how right it is to live in thrift, self-denial, simplicity, and sobriety.
